Modificação de técnica de preparo do plasma rico em plaquetas em cães

Abstract

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has many growing factors that improve tissue regeneration. The goal of this paper is to describe an innovative, quick and simple technique for preparing autogenous PRP from a small amount of blood, which allowing use in dogs. After harvesting 8ml of total blood in five dogs, PRP was obtained using an aseptic technique, which rendered a platelet count two to six times more concentrated than the previous serum platelet count, with final absolute values between 800.000 and 1.600.000/mm3. The technique can be developed quickly, without complications using simple equipments, reaching an ideal platelet concentration and keeping plasma sterility.
